Hurrah for Cleveland!
Courier-Jo Journal.

The issue in the New York State
election just ended was perfectly
understood and sharply defined, 1t
embraced the denomination and re-
election Of Cleveland If the State
had gone Republican every Repub-
lican newspaper in the land, and ev-
cry Democratic opponent of the
President, would have hailed and
heralded it as "the death-knell Of
the Administration" But it went
Democratic; and even the New
York Sun declares that "dne credit
for the cohesion and confidence
that brought about the glorious re-
suit of yesterday should be given to
Grover Cleveland. No one, either
Republican, or Democrat, can rob
the President Of this credit, or break
the force of it. Its significance is
far-reaching, as well as easily calcu-
liable, for it points unerringly TO his
denomination, ifany oneeve doubt
ed the inevitability Of that, and in
dictates, almost rs surely, his re ele2-
tion. The fight was distinctly a
teri case, and Cleveland has fairly
and amply won it, indicating and
verifying the representation of the
Courier-Journal that an upright,
courageous man, who has protect
ed the people from pillage-though
he has not pleased the politicians,
as a class, and is not particularly
fascinating in his ways-may yet
organize power sufficient to rus
tain and maintain him. Cleveland's
danger was undoubtedly the at
tempt to ride two horses at once.
But he has accomplished it and
survives it, and-there being moth
ing so successful as sucoess-hur-
rah for Cleveland
The Republican party cannot
survive the loss of another Presi-
dental election, and that loss now
stares it in the face. AS a party, it
has outlasted the day Gifts useful
ness and the reason of its being. A
sentlmentalist and waffior, it is
unsuited to the busy needs of peace
and the practical duties of every
day life. Offixed Ideas it has none.
1t will founder through one more
national campaign, and, going to
pieces on the Rock of Prohibition,
its fragments will drift away into
infinite space, and, finally, melt
and thaw, and resolve themselves
into oblivion,

CleyeIand's Feelings.

A Senator who called at the
White House yesterday to congrat-
ulate the President on the result in
New York, says: Cleveland feels
good all over; he cannot express
his qualification" Senator Voor-
bees is quite enthusiastic also. He
says: Its glorious, glorious. The
result Of these elections means the
continued ascendency OF the Demo
cratic party for4the next twenty-five
and perhaps fifty years, and it
means the denomination of Cleve-
land and his triumphant election.

be candidate next year, for he is
'hrewd enough to see that no Re-
publican can be elected.In This is

suit without the, privilege of the

Maysville BuliefAn There is but
one Presidential post-ofiice in Ken
tncky that is filled by Republican.
The same is true as to West Virgin
ia, while in Indiana there are but
three. The Republicans filing
these places are "hold-overs" who
were appointed just prior to the in
coming of the present administra-
tion. Cleveland has done. his duty
pretty, well in turning the 'rascalD,'
out. If the men whom he has put
on guard did their duty, there
would not be many Republicans
now filing positions which Demo
Gratis ought to have Let the re-
sponsibility for such a state Of af-
fairs rest where it belongs, and that
is not upon Cleveland's shoulders.

The Hewitt revenue bill, which
was one Of the best bile passed by
the Kentucky Legislature for the
last twenty years, is not popular
with the bondholders and men who
have heretofore evaded the pay
ment of taxes. Some heavy tax
payers of Louisville have conclud-
ed to test the constitutionality of
the bill before the courts. If any
portions should be decided un-
constitutional, the next Legislature
will remedy them, and make some
changes in some of the objectiona-
bleportions which need changing,
but the main features will remain
in the bill, The people Of the State
favor it, and the Legislature, who
are the servants of the people, will
not repeal the law.-Georgetown

The Legality of Liquor Laws.
Boston Herald.


1t will be we'll for THOSE who are
expecting much from the operation
of constitutional AMENDMENTS pro-
hibiting the manufacture and sale
of liquor to watch the action of the
United States Supreme Court in. the
cases before il. from the State OF
Kansao. lin these actions the point
is made that the property of brew
ers and distillers cannot be, made
worthless without compensation.
The two. leases referred to have been
decided IN favor of the. brewers BY
the United States Circuit Judge.
An affirmation of the decision by
the full bench of the United States
Supreme Court would have the eff
feet to nullify much that has been
supposed to have been achieved. In
the mean time we observe that legal
prohibition is pronounced a farce
in its operation in. some of the larg.
err Southern cities.

Jefferson Davis.
New York world.1

The Republican organs, az sever
al elections are pending, keep up
their vilifcations of Jefferson Da-
Wis.
Mr.. Davis is honored by the
Southern people because of his spot
less personal character and because
he represented their cause in the
struggle which terminated happily
for all concerned nearly quarter
of a century ago. Mr.. Davis did
not make the rebellion. 1t was the
people who seeded or undertook to
do so. The United States, as wise.
ly as magnanimously, with the con-
currence ofthe most ardent Union
lists and Abolitionists of the North,
declined to make either victim OF
martyr Of Mr.. Davis. He is now
a feeble old man, whose course is
nearly run and who has only pa.
triot's interest in his country.
Would it not be more decent, not
to say chivalrous, in the organic ed
itors to permit this honored old
age to end in peace rather than to
use it's expiring days to relight the
fires of an extinguished sectional
hate for the sake OF gaining few
votes from the ignorant or the un-
thinking.
